Being Held By You

6/6/18 @2:57a

In your arms you hold and squeeze me
In your arms you make and mold me
As i melt in between your fingers 
You are the Potter I am the clay
And i breathe to catch my breath

In your hands you hold and caress me
In your hands they grab and grip me
As our bodies blend together 
You are the Baker I am the dough
And your hands smoothly pass over every curve

On your chest you hold and adore me
On your chest I rest and reside 
As we exist in each others arms
You are the Musician I am the music 
And the sonnets of our souls produce a master piece

You are the Painter and I am the palette 
And our separate works become a mosaic

You are the Carpenter I am the wood
And beauty comes from our rough edges

How it is to be held by you
